I've got a couple bulk companies lined up. I like the bulk, but couldn't guess the weight... let me see if I can figure out what weight I have and relate that to what you're using.
In the meantime, I did my first batch of biochar yesterday, and learned a few things, like that rice hulls really do char better, easier and faster than wood shavings, but once the pile is big then wood shavings will work just fine.
Ok, calculations...
I can now get 6'cu (174.6 liters) of rice hulls/bale@$2-$3/ (moldy bags are $1 less).
Uh... DDG, while you're paying a fraction of the cost of perlite, I wonder if you couldn't maybe get an even better price. Even paying full retail of $8-$9/6'cu (when sold as animal/horse bedding), we're talking less than half what you paid for that 50lbs. Unless my math is that far off.
